Looks like a New Hobie - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Saw it at OR in August. Think more of a Big Boy Bass boat. Slap on an outboard and it would really be pimp. You really do need a trailer and help to deal with this beast. Has a lot of well thought out features though.

I plan on buying a Hobie and was waiting for the new one to come out. I think that I will stick with the Revo.

Looks like it has some nice features but what a tank. Who wants a yak that needs a trailer? Makes you wonder what they're thinking? Kinda like Shimano coming out with a Trinidad 50 in this day and age.

My next fishing machine will be a 12 ft. Porta-Bote.
68 lbs. as much as my Hobie, with 670 lb. capacity.
17-20 mph with a 5 HP. motor.

I will provide free kayak towing to, or from the magic fishing grounds for my friends.
